Let It Shine

Simply because we love looking at beautiful rocks (who doesn’t?), we thought we would share some of our favorite engagement rings. Here is some eye candy that will surely ring in happily ever after – try these on for size!

When picking out an engagement ring, knowing the “four c’s” is a must:

Cut: Not to be confused with shape, the cut is actually the facets and their proportions on the surface of the diamond that creates the diamond’s reflective quality. Shape is also important – whether a girl wants a round, emerald, princess, or asscher shaped diamond can be a very important decision that reflects her personal style.

Clarity: A diamond’s clarity, determined by its cloudiness or number of “inclusions” or flaws it has, is one of the main ways to measure its quality. Clarity rating can be tricky to get right, so be sure to get the opinion of a professional.

Color: It is actually very rare to find a diamond without any trace of color, and they can range from borderline color to obvious color, such as yellow or blue diamonds.

Carat: This is the unit of weight for diamonds, and as you might guess, a higher weight or number of carats will mean a larger and more expensive diamond.
